Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Well-Designed Garden (Paperback)
Other than the somewhat annoying issue with typography (perhaps dozens of omitted spaces between words), an excellent book. Inspiring images, relevant history, notes and sketches on approaches from multiple styles in several case studies. Note that this title was previously published as "Garden Masterclass".
